Calabash Speckled Trout Fishing Charters

This is the ideal trip for the most passionate anglers out there. This full day adventure will allow you to change a few productive locations and can see you targeting both the inshore and the inlet jetties. You can target Redfish, Flounder, Trout, Black Drum, Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and more.

Our nearshore option involves fishing in the inlet and artificial reefs and wrecks out to 10 miles. You have the opportunity to catch Red Drum, Flounder, Black Seabass, Speckled Trout, a variety of sharks, and possibly Spanish and King Mackerel depending on the time of year. Each trip is customized to make sure our customers have the best possible experience. This is a great option for those with small children or those just looking for the experience and not necessarily looking for a trophy catch.

*** Meet in downtown Wilmington, NC (about 1 hour from OIB) *** for a 6-hour winter Striped Bass trip on the Cape Fear River. We’ll fish artificial lures only around bridges, docks, and river structure for hard-fighting stripers (typically 2–10 lbs). This is catch-and-release only. All gear, lures, and licenses included. Family-friendly—no experience needed.

An extra hour on the water gives you a greater opportunity to catch something nice. On this extended half-day trip, you will be exploring the famous Intracoastal Waterway between North and South Carolina, as well as some nearshore reefs along the coast. You can expect to target a range of different species including Black Drum, Cobia, Spadefish, King Mackeral, Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Seatrout, and even Sharks!

Target Striped Bass, Flounder, Redfish, and Black Drum in the inshore waters of North Myrtle Beach. This boat can accommodate up to 3 guests and there's enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. Capt. Brandon will provide your fishing equipment, even if you want to try fly fishing.

This extended trip will give you more time to catch more fish. Flounder, Trout and Redfish and weather permitting up to 3 miles offshore.

3/4 day charters are geared toward the more hard-core anglers who are willing to wait out the fish or want to venture nearshore on calmer days for trolling and reef fishing. These charters are great for catching King and Spanish Mackerel as well as Cobia when those species are running in the area.

On the 5-hour fishing charter, we will be using light tackle targeting various fish such as Red Drum, Black Drum, Flounder, and Speckled Sea Trout. You will have the option of what you want to try and catch and eat or release. Everything needed will be provided for you.

Five-hour morning inshore trip.

Let's get out and have fun! Plenty of time to get actual "fishing time" versus quickly getting lines in and out of the water. Let's face it, this is called fishing and not catching but this will allow us the time when the fish aren't cooperating to find some that will. This will also provide a chance to get out on the open water dependant on the water and weather conditions. ***The departure time is subject to change in order to get out on the water at the most optimal time to be successful***
